Has anyone noticed that in random games offline, one of the pitchers will lose their stamina at a rapid rate (ex: 40 pitches = zero energy), while the other pitcher's stamina decreases normally? *

The pitcher deciding to casually pick it up, set himself, tap it in his glove before throwing it over. Almost as if deliberately taking just enough time to let the guy make it. No hustle at all

I don't see it that way at all, but out of curiosity what is the pitchers fielding rating?

Also the input on the throw meter was in the green meaning the pitcher wasn't hurriedly trying to get rid of the ball.

Well that's 99 rated Vida Blue, so mid 60's I reckon? Either way, it's just a routine soft hit ball where he's had to take maybe three steps forward to get that's he's not made any attempt to get to 1st in time. Happens constantly with pitchers and catchers, particularly online. Usually involves taking 5 steps past where they pick up the ball, but that time he didn't even need to do that, just tap it in his glove like he's making a casual play to get the guy out by a mile. The completely unnecessary catcher slide for every ball that gets more than two feet away from them is still in full force online as well.

And I still don't see an issue with that particular play.

But I'm done.

Just trying to discuss the play shown and share my thoughts. Not interested in providing you outlets to continue your rants about online play.

I think you could make a case for the tap in the glove being unnecessary, but everything else looks fine to me. There doesn't appear to be a delay in approaching the ball or picking it up, and of course he has to get his feet set before the throw.

The way pitchers move on this game, yes he has to set his feet after picking the ball up as he has overrun it. Real life he start slowing down as he approaches the ball and sets his feet as he picks the ball up and throws the guy out by a mile. But on this game pitchers overrun the ball, they don't start slowing down until they already have it in their glove, then they have to take 3 steps to come to stop, then plant their feet, then throw the ball. That's the problem

Glad to see they finally addressed the Target Field ground rules, can't believe they spent half the season saying they had it right before finally coming around.
